“In recognition of his inspirational role in leading his people in South Africa towards freedom and justice, his courageous non-violent stand against the evils of apartheid and his spiritual example to oppressed peoples everywhere. Above all we are recognising his human qualities: his courage and enthusiasm, his intellectual vigour and wit, his gentle care and compassion and his resilience in the face of adversity.” |
